Got a New Machine

Recommended Posts

Well I finally got my new walking foot machine, it's a Consew CP206R portable. I wanted a machine to do notebook and bible covers, wallets, and other small items. It was a pain to setup my big stitcher for light weight items. This machine is sold under 8 or more names and is identical to the Sailrite LS1. Sailrites accessories and attachments work just fine on it. Finally got it all together this week and it sews great. I want to give a special thanks to Ed Santoro for the advice to get the Sailrite Monster Balance Wheel II. Much more power with the 7 lb flywheel!!!!!! I also want to thank Dave from Artisan for his advice on 135X16 leather needles, they work great in the machine. So now I have NO excuse for not getting my daughters bible cover done, guess I better get my behind busy and get it finished!!

Looks like a great choice for your needs and Artisan does a great job on customer service.

I'd like to know what type of presser feet this machine uses, buy a few, and grind them down for various tasks. The other option is to just buy the $35 leather presser foot, which is just a regular presser foot with the teeth ground down. grinding down the presser foot would allow an additional 1/16" clearance.

I used the leather foot the other night and it works great, no marks on the leather. Just what I was looking for, wished they were not so expensive. But I'll keep looking around and see if I can find a cheaper source. Machine works great. I ordered Sailrites DVDs for the LS1 and Advanced Maintenance. Well worth the $20 each, especially the Advanced Maintenance since is shows you how to basically rebuild the machine.
